One of the big challenges in machining is replacing the cutting tool at the right time. Carrying on the process with a dull tool may degrade the product quality. However, it may be unnecessary to change the cutting tool if it is still capable of continuing the cutting operation. Both of these cases could increase the production cost. Therefore, an effective tool condition monitoring system may reduce production cost and increase productivity. This paper presents a neural network based sensor fusion model for a tool wear monitoring system in turning operations. A wavelet packet tree approach was used for the analysis of the acquired signals, namely cutting strains in tool holder and motor current, and the extraction of wear-sensitive features. Once a list of possible features had been extracted, the dimension of the input feature space was reduced using principal component analysis. Novel strategies, such as the robustness of the developed ANN models against uncertainty in the input data, and the integration of the monitoring information to an optimization system in order to utilize the progressive tool wear information for selecting the optimum cutting conditions, are proposed and validated in manual turning operations. The approach is simple and flexible enough for online implementation.

Post-hot-deformation microstructure development in austenitic stainless steel

Matruprasad Rout, Surjya K. Pal, Shiv Brat Singh

Summary: In this study, the microstructure evolution of austenitic stainless steel after deformation at elevated temperatures was investigated through thermo-mechanical processing. The results showed that at temperatures of 900 degrees C and 1000 degrees C, the microstructures of samples held for 2 seconds consisted of deformed grains, while the sample held at 1100 degrees C showed nearly complete recrystallization. The increase in holding time resulted in a decrease in low angle boundaries and an increase in high angle grain boundaries at all three temperatures.

Traces: Inkling Blockchain for Distributed Storage in Constrained IIoT Environments

Riya Tapwal, Pallav Kumar Deb, Sudip Misra, Surjya Kanta Pal

Summary: Storing data from IIoT sensors in blockchain for monitoring applications can cause management issues like bloating. This study focuses on generating traces using an ARIMA model and storing only metadata, resulting in reduced delay and managed data. Size of traces for storage on the store is determined by considering principal parameters and S&G blocks are generated accordingly. Feasibility of S&G is demonstrated with errors and regret in the range of 0.07-0.10 and 0.20-0.25, respectively, using the appropriate ARIMA model.

An investigation of bimetallic tube fabrication through a novel friction stir extrusion based technology for automotive applications

Rishabh Swarnkar, Souvik Karmakar, Surjya K. Pal

Summary: This article proposes a novel friction stir backward extrusion (FSBE) process for the fabrication of bimetallic tubular components. The process enables uniform cladding and void-free bonding between different sets of materials through diffusion and frictional heat. Intermetallic compounds (IMCs) were confirmed at the interface through energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses. The strong metallurgical bonding between the substrate and cladding materials was verified through a flattening test. This process opens up new opportunities for applications in electrical, structural, lightweight, and corrosion-resistant fields.

A computationally efficient multiphysics model for friction stir welding with polygonal pin profiles

Soumya Sangita Nayak, Md Perwej Iqbal, Rahul Jain, Surjya K. Pal, Prakash Srirangam

Summary: This study aims to model temperature distribution in friction stir welding (FSW) using various backing plates and polygonal pin profiles. The experimental results show the importance of temperature on the grain size and tensile strength of the materials. However, determining the temperature at each point of the weld is difficult and expensive in experiments. Therefore, simulations are performed to accomplish the objective. The 3-D transient multiphysics model developed for FSW combines multiple physical phenomena and is validated by experiments. The model is Industry 4.0-compliant and can predict weld quality.

Effect of tool concavity on flash formation during fabrication of tubes through friction stir welding

Debolina Sen, Surjya K. Pal, Sushanta K. Panda

Summary: A novel strategy involving a concave shoulder tool with three different concavities (3°, 6°, and 9°) and double pass was devised to successfully fabricate longitudinal friction stir welded tubes. Increasing concavity resulted in the formation of flash and thinning of the weld zone due to excessive heat generation caused by enhanced tool contact with tube curvature. The tool with a 3° concavity resulted in negligible pores and excellent weld zone strength, making it suitable for welding tubes using friction stir welding.

Numerical simulation on end expansion of tubes fabricated through friction stir welding and validation of fracture behaviour

Debolina Sen, Bhupesh Singh Katiyar, Sushanta Kumar Panda, Surjya Kanta Pal

Summary: The effect of weld zone on the formability of FSWed AA 5083-O tubes during end expansion was investigated through experiments and finite element simulations. The incorporation of BW fracture model in the FE model predicted the non-linear deformation path and fracture of the weld zone, which was in agreement with experimental results. Microscopic examination revealed void occurrence due to matrix debonding and subsequent fracture of the weld zone. It was concluded that the BW fracture model can aid in tool design and prediction of failure limits during end expansion of welded tubes.

TEM analysis and molecular dynamics simulation of graphene coated Al-Cu micro joints

Omkar Mypati, Polkampally Pavan Kumar, Surjya Kanta Pal, Prakash Srirangam

Summary: This study compares friction-stir spot welds (FSSW) of pure Al to Cu, with and without graphene interlayer (GL), and analyzes the impact of the interlayer on the mechanical and electrical performance of the weld joint. The results show that the absence of a graphene interlayer leads to the formation of brittle intermetallic compounds (IMCs) at the weld interface, while the presence of the interlayer suppresses the formation of IMCs and enhances the strength of the weld joint. Thinner and high-density twins are observed in the samples with the interlayer, and they contribute to increased tensile load and electrical conductivity.
